Fans immediately took to Twitter after their conversation and firmly sided with the ex Celebrity Big Brother star.

One wrote: "I agree with Megan, I would never go out with a group of people who have slagged off my best friend. It's called being loyal."

Another added: "it's like sleeping with the enemy. You don't do them tings," while one wrote: "I'd be same as Megan McKenna if my mates went out with someone who I can't stand."

Others targeted Chloe and posted: "Chloe Lewis is actually really jealous of @Megan_Mckenna she's only befriending her friends to p**s her off," while another added: "F**king hell Chloe Lewis could of done a better job of hiding her delight at Megan being upset."

One Towie addict wrote: "Chloe Lewis is spiteful. Smug smile when she knew Megan was upset her friends went out with her."

Megan and Chloe M's status as best mates was severely called into question during last week's show when fans saw her go crazy after spotting an image of Chloe M and fellow close pal Courtney Green on a night out with her arch-rival Chloe Lewis.
